Migraine with many visual and speech problems

Posted by taiylort @taiylort, 4 days ago

Hi everyone, I am 26yr old almost 27 and for the past year I have had started having migraines that feel like my brain is melting from the inside out and the last few ones I've had I have issues where I have almost completely lost my vison and now I am having issues with constant stuttering. I work a professional job and the stuttering is starting to cause issues at work. I talked to the dr and all he said is to take some OTC medication and wont submit a referral to a neurologist. Does anyone have any similar experiences they can share?

@lisalucier I talked to my doctor and all he said to do was to take something OTC. I asked for a referral for more testing but was always declined. Just feeling lost

@taiylort This doctor is not serving you well at all. OTC doesn't help with migraine. Can you contact a neurologist? One who specializes in migraine? My first neuro put me on maintenance after seeing him a couple of times and stopped trying to find ways to help me. I now have a neuro who continues to hang in there with me and prescribe different Rx for both preventive and abortive. I don't know if you are experiencing dizziness but at book on Vestibular Migraine by Shin C. Beh helped me tremendously. Also lots of free articles on VeDA Vestibular Disorders Association that also includes migraine.
